2016 Ocean Alexander Pilothouse

The 2016 Ocean Alexander 72 Pilothouse we recently sold was a prime example of why this builder commands respect in the yachting world. This particular 72 Pilothouse, with its 18'10" beam, offered an exceptional volume for its length, making it feel much larger inside. What buyers really appreciate about the Ocean Alexander Pilothouse series is their robust build quality and thoughtful engineering. You're getting a semi-displacement hull designed for comfortable cruising, not just speed, though she could certainly get up and go when needed. The pilothouse layout is ideal for extended cruising, providing excellent visibility and a dedicated helm station that separates the captain from the social areas. For anyone looking at a similar 72-foot motor yacht, the Ocean Alexander's ability to handle offshore conditions combined with its luxurious interior appointments sets it apart. The bridge clearance is manageable for many ICW routes, and with its fuel capacity, a run to the Bahamas and back without refueling worries is well within its capabilities. This specific boat, having sold for $2,220,000 after being listed at $2,595,000 by Yacht Access, shows the strong demand for well-maintained, late-model Ocean Alexanders in this size range. It was a fantastic opportunity for its new owner.

This Ocean Alexander 72 Pilothouse was perfectly suited for extended family cruising throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas, offering ample space and comfort for long periods aboard. It was also an excellent platform for entertaining guests, with its spacious salon and flybridge providing multiple areas for socializing.

The typical buyer for an Ocean Alexander Pilothouse of this caliber is an experienced yacht owner, often transitioning from a smaller motor yacht, who values robust construction, long-range capability, and luxurious liveaboard amenities. They are usually looking for a vessel capable of owner-operation but with the option to accommodate a small crew for longer voyages or specific destinations.
